my psd 7.3(powdered metal rods) is an 02 running just under 90k miles not a thing has gone wrong.
my 1996 7.3(fordged steel rods, like what youre looking at) want 698k miles before i needed major work. go with it, you'll be happy. plus all 7.3s are holding their value because the 6.0, 6.4s suck, the new 6.8s arent bad but theyre 2011s with a base price around 60k.

The only real problem I've had with my '02 PSD is the cam position sensor. Had to replace it twice. With the original sensor I was getting 22 mpg. The newer ones dropped that to 18mpg. I think some of the programmers can factor that in if you go with a chip of some sort.

I work on pads almost exclusively. If you're towing alot, buying a 99 or newer for the innercooler bigger turbo etc. Would be nice. You can add an IC to a 94-97 (we affectionately call these OBS for old body style). I like the single shot injectors in the 94-97 as compared to the split shots in the 99 and newer. I could rattle on for days about these HEUI motors. I just put a DT360A in my 99 crew cab. Its an inline 6 that international stopped making in 93. Go to youtube and search users pipewhiner and fuzzys69 for some of our Powerstroke creations.

97 f-250 Ditto on reliability and only repairs made: High pressure pump $65.00 (don't take it to the dealer, they will quote you 8 hr stating turbo removal), Get a cheap 1-1/4 box wrenck, heat and bend and you can remove the banjo bolt on the back of the pump between the turbo bracket.
Crank sensor $65.00 takes 20 min to install. No other problems in 5 years.
